merely supporting the guns. The Seven
ty-fifth Now York was at one time sent in
to the swamp at the left, and got position
where its muskets could be used; but any
infantry soldier who fired bullet at Bis
land was an exception. All day long the
! tremendous uproar of artillery went on,
/ hardly slackening at all. Three gunboats
on the bayou, two on one side and one on
the other. joined in the fray. In some
places on the field the growing sugar-cane
obscured the view; in others the scene was
brilliantly lighted up by the flames of
burning sugar mills, set on fire by the
shells; but there was everywhere noise,
smoke, dust, and excitement During all
of this day my company was d. tached in
support of a section of Indiana PARROT
guns, thirty-two Founders. All day long
these brave artillerymen kept TO their work,
planting their round-shot most effectively,
and often jumping up and cheering when
an extra good shot was made. Not a man
of my company was hurt, though two were
hit by spent fragments of shell. In our
regiment only two were killed and eight
wounded; the loss in the whole division
was small. Save in unusual cases this is
the common result of an artillery battle.
Shot and shell terrify and disconcert; but
as rule the bullet is the great havoc max
er in war.
Another night was passed in darkness,
and with nothing to eat but few hard

Which Is Married to the Other.

ton whether at weddings the man is mar
ried to the woman or the woman mar
ried to the man. Should the marriage

Jehial Mos back, to Ahashuerus Start
en-" or hashuerus Startem, to Mary
Ann, dang liter of Jehial?" That is the
question which agitates Chicago.
The weight of test mony is all in
favor of wedding the woman to the
man. The Bible is on that side of the
question, and so is the marriage service
OF the Episcopal Church. Usually, too,
the husband objects to being married
to the woman, unless she has money.
He prefers the other form and most of
the ladies agree to it.-Uticd Herald.

What Woman Aflre should DO.

A girl OF woman who meets with this ac-
cident (of setting fire to her clothes should
Immediately lie down on the floor, and so
anyone who goes to her assistance should
instantly, if she still be erect, make her lie
down or, if needful, throw her down in a
horizontal position, and keep her in it.
Sparks fly upward, and flames ascend. Ig-
milton from below mounts with fearful
rapidity, and, as a result we'll known to ex-
pets, the fatality of Disagreement in these
lamentable cases is due to the burns in
flicted about the body neck, face, and
head, and not to injuries of the lower
limbs. Now, the very moment that the per-
son whose clothes are on fire is in n hori-
zontal position on fiat surface the flames
will ascend, but only the air and not the
flames encircle their victim. Time is thus
gained for further action, and in such a
crisis in fight against fire few seconds
are precious, nay, priceless. Once in the
proper position the person afflicted may
crawl to a bell pull or to door, so as to
clutch at one or open the other to obtain
help. The draught from an open door into
the room would serve to blow the flames,
if any, away from the body; or again, still
crawling. the sufferer may be able to secure
rug or table-cover, or other article at
hand, to SMOTHER any remaining fames.-

The Dangerous Condition of "Shocx."

If an individual receives severe in
jury to the head conclusion of the
BRAIN, or is crushed or mangled in a
railway accident, or is extensively
burned or scalded the state of "sho *"
is brought about. The surface becomes
pale and bloodless, there is sickness at
the stomach, dizziness, ringing in the
ears, 1T gets black before the eyes, +"
the breathing becomes hurried and
signing, the pulse quick and feeble,
and if this goes on to greater extremes,
loss of consciousness or even death re-
suits. The blood has left the surface
and the brain and most of it has gravi-
tated to the abdominal cavity. The
effect for the moment is the same as if
it had left the body by way of a severed
artery. As some one has said, when a
man is killed by SHOCK" he has "bled
to death into his own veins" When
the blood is thus withdrawn from the
brain, the heart no longer receives the
nervous force necessary for it to con-
tinue beating. The lungs are in sim
liar starved condition and the breath
ing is interfered with or stops alto
gether. All this, because the nerves
whose duty it is to keep the blood YES
sells of the abdominal cavity in a state
of partial contraction are paralyzed
and can no longer do their work. Minor
degrees of shock are Familiarity known

MOSIem Women.

The MosleN looks upon woman as an
inferior being, unft to advise him or to
share in his pleasures and sorrows.
The higher the rank OF the Tunisian
lady the less she will be seen in the
streets and bazars. AS rule only
women of the lowest order, beggars,
and the wives of the poor country bed
GUMS, are seen in the streets, and
even these cover their faces with their
hands whenever they meet a European.
There is a general belief among Euro
peans that the Koran prescribes that
women should be yelled when they APP
pear in public. This is not the fact
The custom is not a religious duty, but
fashion. The chamberlain of an eX-
grand vlzler gave me some curious in
formation on this subject. The Pasha's
wife was taken sick with the smallpox.
A European physician was called;
guarded by two eunuchs he was per-
mitted to enter the chamber of the lady.
Curtains concealed the bed. The ply
stefan insisted upon seeing the face of
the suffering woman, bat the eunuch
refused, giving the doctor description
of her face. When the doctor asked
to see her tongue her face was covered
with cloth in which a small hole was
cut; through this opening the sick
woman showed her tongue. When the
physician felt her pulse her hands and
arms were covered, and the doctor was
asked to close his eyes while counting
the pulse. Witchcraft and the charla-
tanism Of cunning old women are gen
orally resorted to when women of the
harems are sick. Many of the ladies
OF higher rank live and die without
setting foot in the streets, or changing
their abode, except once, when they
leave the paternal roof to go to the
house of their husband and master.
With the exception of the nearest rela
tives, no man ever enters the harem.
